The Great Potato Harvest

We weren't sure whether the potatoes were ready to harvest or the recent rains had damaged the plants. It was only just on three months since I planted them. Either way, the plants were dying and they had to come out.
A bucket full came out of approximately a square meter of garden, so we were more than happy with the harvest. Some are small, but there are also plenty of really good-sized potatoes as well.

Hello & Welcome

My name is Missy. Welcome to my garden. This is my blog although I do let Ros write most of the posts. I'm an Australian Silkie Terrier and although I'm cute, I'm not very good at typing. We try to keep family and friends up-to-date on what's happening at our place.My garden is in Karalee on the western fringe of Brisbane, Australia. Climatically, Zone10 – Sub-tropical. Winter temperatures occasional dip below zero C overnight but can warm to mid-20s during the day. In summer the temperature can soar to over 40 degrees C for a few days, but is generally in the low 30’s.The garden was started from a bare block of land in 2005. Our aim is to create a tropical oasis that is as welcoming to local birds and wildlife as it is to the people who visit. It's a work in progress.
